Sandra Spain

Sandra was born in New York City on August 5, 1956. She was a proud United States Army Veteran, having served for eight years before losing her legs due to Lupus. Even after having suffered a massive stroke, she continued to recover and persevere. She never let her physical ailments define her attitude or spirit though- she remained a selfless and loving woman who was full of life and a kid at heart. Sandra was a doting mother, daughter, sister and aunt. She was always found watching movies and crime series, reading, eating sweets, and mulling over a crossword puzzle. She loved to travel, laugh and trying new things. She always had a story to tell. Sandra was a strong, courageous and beautiful woman.

She was preceded in death by her father, Roy Abraham; and stepfather, Ralph Dendtler.

She is survived by her loving and devoted family- one daughter, Skye Victoria Spain, a flight attendant who travels the world; her mother, Marguerite Dendtler of Martinez; four sisters, Terry Challenger (Eugene) of Grovetown, Melvina Young (Michael) of Grovetown, Diane Bash of New York City, and Susan Bash of Martinez; niece and nephew, Simone Challenger and Simeon Challenger of Grovetown; uncles Walter Abraham of New York, New York and Vern Abraham (Marybell) of Springfield, Virginia; Aunt Iris Wilcox of the US Virgin Islands; God sister Christina Garrison of New York City; three best friends, Elizabeth Francis of Atlanta, Georgia, Barbara Servance of Jacksonville, Florida, and Malorie Sanders of Milwaukee, Wisconsin; and her favorite boys Mark and Chris Johnson of Augusta, Georgia.

The family will receive friends from 6-8:00 P.M. Friday at Platt’s Funeral Home on Belair Road.

Sandra’s life and service will be celebrated at 11:00 A.M. Saturday, June 29, 2019, in the Chapel of Platt’s Funeral Home Belair Road. Interment will follow in Bellevue Memorial Gardens.
